Pedro Giraudo Tango Orchestra

After two decades performing with the most important interpreters of tango in the United States, Pedro Giraudo debuted his own Tango Orchestra at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing. The Pedro Giraudo Tango Orchestra which features some of the finest tango musicians, performs dance-able tangos ranging from the most famous orchestras to original arrangements of the classics!

Among the many noteworthy events in Pedro Giraudo's career, in 2014 Pedro recorded bass on Ruben Blades’ CD “Tangos”, which won two Grammy Awards. He is also the musical director of Tango for All’s “Blind”, Mariela Franganillo Company’s “Tango Connection” and “Tango Recuerdo,” and performed with U.S.’s most prominent tango ensembles including Pablo Ziegler (Piazzolla’s pianist), Luis Bravo’s “Forever Tango,” Hector Del Curto Quintet,” Fernando Otero’s “X-Tango” and Daniel Binelli’s “Tango Metropolis.”

The Pedro Giraudo Tango Orchestra will play LIVE for our dancing pleasure on the first night of the festival: Friday, May 25.
